[Interview - Group - Review] Review đề thi Social Case PwC Phần 1

Case study:

Most higher level positions in companies are filled be men even though the workforce in many developed countries is more than 50 per cent female. Companies should be required to allocate a certain percentage of these position to women.

Answer:

Why companies should give a percentage of senior position to women:

• Equal rights and opportunities for men and women;
• It avoids discrimination;
• It creates a pleasant work environment to have a better balance of the genders in management and senior levels;
• It creates a supportive work environment for other female employees to know that a certain percentage of management is also female;
• Women have valuable skills of communication and diplomacy for high level positions.

Why companies should NOT give a percentage of senior position to women:

• It is not realistic to stipulate a certain percentage of one gender;
• Companies cannot be sure that they will receive suitable female applicants to fill a certain percentage of senior position;
• This forces companies to fulfill percentage even though it may be to their detriment;
• Senior position should be allocated based on experience, skills and qualifications, not gender.
